That's what I had in mind.
We still need to sort out when we pull from master into stable. David Sterba suggested waiting until the first -stable update for the next point release. So, e.g. Factory uses 3.15.X now and we wouldn't move to 3.16 until 3.16.1 was released.
I wouldn't do that. Factory is actually using 3.16.rc7 and beside the mkfs.btrfs OOPS I have no problem with it. I can live well without the RCs in Factory, but I would like to see problems as early as possible - with the hope someone is actually fixing them too.
Actually if Factory is supposed to be the "rolling release for grandma and grandpa" then the RCs are not supposed to go there. People who want to test them can easily add Kernel:HEAD (like I have done for ages) and get the RCs from there, but still have the option to easily go back to a working kernel. I actually lost that possibility with Factory switching to the unstable kernels lately (my secret trick is that I have kernel-default from Factory and kernel-desktop from Kernel:HEAD, and since I never use "zypper dup" but only "zypper up", they always get updated from their origin repository, so kernel-default was the "stable, working" kernel before) -- Stefan Seyfried "For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled." -- Richard Feynman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner@opensuse.org
